The charter records the current governing shape

Virginia’s current Brodnax charter says that, beginning in 2019, the town is governed by five council members and a mayor. It describes staggered four-year council terms and a 2025 transition in the mayoral term before later four-year terms.

That structure explains office cycles without identifying a ballot choice or evaluating any person.

Office structure and election administration are different

The charter provides the municipal framework, while current ballots, filing deadlines, candidate qualification and election results belong to the responsible election authority. Readers should not use this article as an election notice.

No identifier, term length or seat grouping is a score, endorsement, prediction or statement of party preference.

Use dated records for actual council work

To understand what the council considered or adopted, use the matching notice, agenda, journal, minutes, ordinance or resolution. Do not attribute a body’s action to an individual without a supporting record.

This guide preserves the charter’s amendment history and should be corrected if a later official amendment changes the structure.
